Description
This Czech-language book tells the exciting story of St Francis of Assisi: how he was carefree and mischievous in his youth, chose to give up a life of wealth for simplicity, spoke with birds, tamed the wolf of Gubbio and composed the famous Canticle of Creation. The story is accompanied by delicate illustrations by Giuliano Ferri. Intended for the youngest readers, it can also delight adults. Francis, the son of a wealthy merchant from Assisi, encounters Jesus and is moved to strip away his prosperous, carefree life. He marries “Lady Poverty” and lives as a true son of the Father in Heaven. His decision represents a radical following of Christ, while love for the poor and imitation of the poor Christ remain inseparable elements throughout his life.
